The Road to Security Hygiene: How SMBs Can Attain Affordable, Enterprise-Grade Identity Security

Small and medium-sized businesses face the same threats as enterprises without the budget for an in-house security operations center or the salaries to compete for scarce security talent, and they often lack the time for regular security awareness training. That leaves them especially exposed to business email compromise and account takeover, the easiest ways into a company. The FBI's 2022 Internet Crime Report recorded 21,832 BEC complaints with adjusted losses of more than $2.7 billion, and identity-based intrusions frequently escalate to ransomware. This paper sets out what is at stake beyond the ransom itself: lost future revenue, strained partner and supplier relationships, higher cyber insurance premiums and the threat of litigation. It then explains how Huntress' MDR for Microsoft 365 aims to give SMBs the benefits of a SOC at a price they can afford, with 24/7 monitoring of Microsoft 365 environments, analysts who validate detections to keep false positives down, and incident reports that summarize what happened and what to do next.
